The Australian expansion, which includes a number of regions across the country, will give an additional 1.5 million people access to Deliveroo, creating work opportunities for riders, and convenience for consumers.

It's the perfect service for those of us who need a food fix, but just can't be bothered leaving the house...

Deliveroo Australia Country Manager, Levi Aron, said that they are excited to continue expanding across the country.

Since entering the Australian market only three years ago, Deliveroo has received an overwhelmingly positive response from restaurants, riders and customers alike. We look forward to continuing to bring Deliveroo to an even greater number of customers throughout Australia, while providing flexible, well-paid work to even more riders, and generating new revenue streams for our restaurant partners.
